“About the turn of the century (1905) a new addition was built onto the northern side of the house.
“The design of the house took advantage of the elevated site with two storey verandahs providing views to the north, east and south of the residence.
The 1905 additions to the north eastern corner of the house recreated the terrace with first floor verandah described as a ‘wide sleeping out balcony’ (p6 SMH 3 October 1914). In 1983 the house was extensively restored with a minor addition of a new kitchen and associated terrace at the north western corner of the building. Several outbuildings north of the garage were removed and a large section of the sloping garden modified for a tennis court and pool. The driveway was relocated, via the front setback, to a new carport within the western side of the house. To preserve the significant views from the rear northern terrace, the pool and tennis court were set down lower than the original terrace.” – MEETING OF Ku-Ring-Gai COUNCIL TUESDAY, 9 AUGUST 2011 AT 7.00PM” |
